Over the weekend I saw the distinction that boundaries tend to be conscious choices that help our lives expand; whereas limitations tend to be unconscious choices (though they almost always feel like they're being imposed from the outside) that keep us from moving forward. This new awareness is helping me so much that I wanted to share it. Noticing the difference between a boundary and a limitation, gives me more freedom to question the limits and remove them; while gladly accepting boundaries that support an expansive direction for my life.

A really empowering shift occurs when we start to notice the difference between a boundary and a limitation - realizing that boundaries stem from the higher nature while limitation stems from ego patterns. Without this awareness we do ourselves a disservice by often resisting boundaries and willingly accepting limitations.

This morning I heard our dog Samantha let out one of the most fierce growls ever. When I turned to look, I realized she was protecting her knuckle bone (no she's not vegan yet!) from our cat Sultan -- who would never want the knuckle bone in a million years. From my perspective, I could see the fear at play and it sparked today's #dailylightwave. In the same way that I can see her fears as ungrounded in reality, I know from a higher vantage point of intelligence my fears and insecurities look so silly as well. The belief in lack is one of humanity's learning points and is still an ongoing one for me. Depending on our human history, we grapple with it in an individual way, but I think it's there for everyone to a certain point. After I read what I wrote today something attributed to Jesus in what's known as the Sermon on the Mount, came to mind: "...the very hairs of your head are all numbered." To me, that says every little thing has been accounted for in a way that you could never measure or account for. Trust this implicitly. Aahhh yes TRUST. That's the key and when I get a sense of the power I'm trusting in, it becomes much easier to do.That's exactly what spiritual study and practices help me to do. Then like that old spaghetti sauce commercial from the 1980's (Prego I think) where the Italian father, skeptical to see his son making marinara from a jar, begins listing all the ingredients for a successful sauce, and to each item his son replies in a heavy Italian accent, "Hey Pop, it's in there"; when the doubtful mind questions me as to whether I have what I need, I too can say with confidence - "It's in there!" I'm ready-made, encoded with all I need to fulfill my life's purpose and to thrive. Yes, yes, yes!

Why would an intelligent and loving Source launch something into being without providing it with even the tiniest thing it needs to survive and thrive? The belief that we are deprived of anything needful and all its visible manifestations is a human delusion,  an imposition on reality ~ not reality.

Today's #dailylightwave is inspred by one of the shots I caught yesterday on our road trip up north at 75 miles per hour. I was so moved by the different landscapes along the way and touched by earth's beauty in a profound way. It occurred to me that we should be highly skeptical of anything which takes away from the beauty or adds ugliness to the earth. As we drove passed the oil drills, I thought of how much more beautiful and less intrusive wind and solar energy sources are in contrast. I had never thought of it this way before but I think beauty could be a very important point when it comes to discerning the best choices in caring for our planet.

The earth is incredibly beautiful on her own. As her inhabitants, we are here to protect and enhance that beauty, not to destroy it.

Watch a YouTube clip of Thich Nhat Hanh and you'll see today's #dailylightwave in practice. The peace he exudes is so powerful that immediately calms me. I can feel his conscious connection with his center that brings me into that place as well. If I can emulate that in a degree I've done something worth doing and my life becomes a creation rather than a snowballing, out of control series of reactions.

Living as if you are your thoughts is mindless; living as the awareness of your thoughts is mindful and empowers you to craft a conscious life that stems from your center rather than just your personality.

Only a few letters difference but big difference and a huge, giant continual lesson for me that's embodied in today's #dailylightwave.

Don't be so attached to your reactions that you lose the power to respond.

As I hiked last night, images of choices I've made in the past started to flood into my thinking. Looking at them more objectively I could see that these actions revealed what I was committed to at any given moment. The choices I repeated show what I truly value above and beyond all else. Regardless of what I was saying I wanted at these times, the actions showed what I was up for. This is still true and it goes for both the choices that serve my evolution and the ones that don't

One simple action reveals what you're committed to more than a thousand complicated words.

I notice my Daily Lightwaves are running a common theme lately. Everything I share is what I'm learning and this theme of staying unified with my center is a big one for me right now. Today's #dailylightwave came to me last week in a private yoga session. I had just gotten the student into savasana (final rest pose) when the phone started ringing, neighbors began riding loud dirt bikes, dog barking,  etc. I found myself saying something similar to what I've written today to the student. As I pondered this idea afterwards it really stayed with me and I realized it's true for more than just savasana. I love how the asana practice aspect of yoga offers so many metaphors for the whole of human experience.

Anything that shows up as a distraction, nuisance, disturbance, or burden isn't there to pull you off center; it's actually inviting you to connect more fully to your center. If you were at one with the place of peace inside yourself, whatever it is wouldn't have shown up as a disturbance.
